Logarithmic velocity profile of quantum turbulence of superfluid $^4$He

The logarithmic velocity profile is the most important statistical law of classical turbulence affected by channel walls. This paper demonstrates numerically that the logarithmic velocity profile of a superfluid flow appears in quantum turbulence under pure normal flow in a channel. We investigated the configuration and dynamics of an inhomogeneous vortex tangle affected by the walls, and found the characteristic behavior of the log-law.
